Speeches by Sewards.

“That leads neatly on to the next question.”

“I absolutely agree we should consider that. It must be done within the fiscal rules and we must find the money in a responsible way, but given we have heard some sources cite £1.5 billion to fix dentistry, I think that is a very reasonable figure to consider finding. I do think there is a solution, which is fundamental…”

“I genuinely welcome the Secretary of State to his place, and I commend the Royal Marines, the National Crime Agency, the personnel from the RAF and all the others for conducting their work this weekend. Clearly, this is not the last we will see of the Russian shadow fleet. There are reports that two more ships are sail…”

“The Education Committee heard evidence from Snapchat, which pushed back on the hard evidence and the facts—and on any idea that the platform caused harm to young people at all. It was perhaps no surprise that the e-safety commissioner in Australia opened an investigation into Snapchat for non-compliance with the Austra…”

“Let me start by saying that I love dentists, and I will tell the House why. Twenty years ago, almost to the day, I completed my last GCSE history exam and decided to go and celebrate with my friends in Drighlington, in my constituency. We chose to cycle down New Lane, which is between Gildersome and Drighlington. New L…”

“The hon. Gentleman has been a powerful advocate for religious freedom right across the world, and his speech underlines that even further. Like him, I looked at the Open Doors world watch list, which said that Sudan is now the fourth worst place in the world to be a Christian. That is not just because of the war; it is…”

“This Government have delivered the funding necessary to build mass transit in West Yorkshire, and I am very proud of that. However, the delay in the delivery timetable has left many of my constituents extremely frustrated that the Leeds and Bradford tram will not be delivered until the late 2030s. We have been stung to…”

“Growing numbers of my constituents have been contacting me about e-bikes and e-scooters. They know the law, and they know it is not being enforced on pavements, in parks or in public spaces. There is clearly a need for a debate on this matter. Will the Leader of the House grant a debate not just on the state of the law…”

“I have limited time, so I will be brief. What role should education providers play to support children and young people who are already waiting for specialist mental health support but have not received it yet?”

“You mentioned in a previous answer that children want support in schools. Obviously, education settings are at the forefront, alongside parents and carers. What should a core offer of mental health and wellbeing support in education settings look like?”

“I have one final question for you all. How should success be measured, and what would meaningful progress look like over the next three to five years in addressing the missing middle and the variation in services across the country?”

“That is helpful. Abigail, how should we address this variation?”

“How would you address that?”

“Thank you. Jo, the EPI has found substantial variation across the country in the range of mental health support services that are delivered outside the NHS. Abigail, YoungMinds has argued that the persistent gaps in provision are exacerbated by the lack of community-based services. What should the policy response be?”

“Do you think the Government are doing enough?”

“I am going to ask you a couple of questions about widening access to mental health support services for young people. Connie, I will start with you. The Centre for Young Lives stated that the threshold for accessing mental health services has risen, which has created a missing middle of young people who do not access s…”

“One final question. You have called for the roll-out of mental health support teams to be accelerated ahead of the 2030 target. Are the Government ambitious enough?”

“I have limited time, so I will be brief. What role should education providers play to support children and young people who are already waiting for specialist mental health support but have not received it yet?”

“You mentioned in a previous answer that children want support in schools. Obviously, education settings are at the forefront, alongside parents and carers. What should a core offer of mental health and wellbeing support in education settings look like?”
